TLDR
It is shown here that NHEJ-defective hamster cells (CHO mutant V3 cells) have strongly reduced repair in all cell cycle phases after 1 Gy of irradiation, and HR is particularly important in late S/G2, where both pathways contribute to repair and radioresistance.Abstract:
Little is known about the quantitative contributions of nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) to DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in different cell cycle phases after physiologically relevant doses of ionizing radiation. Using immunofluorescence detection of -H2AX nuclear foci as a novel approach for monitoring the repair of DSBs, we show here that NHEJ-defective hamster cells (CHO mutant V3 cells) have strongly reduced repair in all cell cycle phases after 1 Gy of irradiation. In contrast, HR-defective CHO irs1SF cells have a minor repair defect in G1, greater impairment in S, and a substantial defect in late S/G2. Furthermore, the radiosensitivity of irs1SF cells is slight in G1 but dramatically higher in late S/G2, while V3 cells show high sensitivity throughout the cell cycle. These findings show that NHEJ is important in all cell cycle phases, while HR is particularly important in late S/G2, where both pathways contribute to repair and radioresistance. In contrast to DSBs produced by ionizing radiation, DSBs produced by the replication inhibitor aphidicolin are repaired entirely by HR. irs1SF, but not V3, cells show hypersensitivity to aphidicolin treatment. These data provide the first evaluation of the cell cycle-specific contributions of NHEJ and HR to the repair of radiation-induced versus replication-associated DSBs.read more

Hypothesis: transcript-templated repair of DNA double-strand breaks.
TL;DR: In this scheme, G1 cells appear to lack a mechanism for the accurate repair of certain DSBs, and an ability to use alternative templates would be highly advantageous.

TL;DR: The results revealed for the first time the sequential recruitment of factors involved in two major DNA double-strand break repair pathways, non-homologous end-joining and homologous recombination, and the cell cycle-specific recruitment of the sister chromatid cohesion complex cohesin to the damage site.

TL;DR: It is shown that SCAI (suppressor of cancer cell invasion) binds to 53BP1 phosphorylated at S/TP sites and facilitates HDR, which may include alt-NHEJ and resection-dependent NHEJ in G1, as well as HDR in S/G2.

The role of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene in lung cancer: recent advances in research.
TL;DR: In this study, the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene and its encoding product ATM protein predicts the response to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and prognosis of lung cancer, thus suggesting that the ATM gene may be a new potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of Lung cancer.

Proteasome inhibition suppresses DNA-dependent protein kinase activation caused by camptothecin
TL;DR: CPT-dependent replication fork collapse activates DNA-PK signaling through a proteasome dependent, TopI degradation-independent pathway, and the implications of DNA- PK activation in the context of TopI poison-based therapies are discussed.

Megabase chromatin domains involved in DNA double-strand breaks in vivo.
TL;DR: The results offer direct visual confirmation that γ-H2AX forms en masse at chromosomal sites of DNA double-strand breaks and suggest the possible existence of units of higher order chromatin structure involved in monitoring DNA integrity.

Evidence for a lack of DNA double-strand break repair in human cells exposed to very low x-ray doses
Kai Rothkamm,Markus Löbrich +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that foci of γ-H2AX (a phosphorylated histone), detected by immunofluorescence, are quantitatively the same as DSBs and are capable of quantifying the repair of individual D SBs, allowing the investigation of DSB repair after radiation doses as low as 1 mGy, an improvement by several orders of magnitude over current methods.
